Your firm, as we know now, have paid very large sums 12.508 every year to the Inspectors. That must have been perfectly well known amongst the Inspectors. Do you think it possible, or probable, that Mr Conolly would not have given you trouble all these months, when he knew large sums of money were being paid to other

people,

if he got nothing himself. Dont you think it probable that Mr Conolly got at least part of that $55, although you never paid it to him direct ?

A.

I dont know whether he did or not. Well, I should think

that they shared it together.

Q.

That is exactly what I wanted to ask you. Your impress- ion is, and the probability is, that Conolly got part

of that money ↑

A.

Well, I think that, but I cannot say certainly.

You dont think Mr O'Keiff, or Mr Ward, as the onge may (1570

be, ate the whole lot himself?

A.

Well, it is hard for me to say.

Well, sometimes you actually paid money to Kelly or

Ward, did you not ↑

12571

A.

Well, as to that, you would save to ask To Shang. I

will tell you about Kelly.

They have already told us that some of the earlier

payments to Kelly were made by you .

12572

A.

Not my hand.

Q.

For the first 3 nontha of last year, Ko Shang tells us (1573

that you paid the money to Kelly, and afterwarde Ro

Shang paid the money

A.

Well, there was no need for me to attend to Kelly,

because there were other people there.

But the first 3 months of last year, do you remember 12514

over making payments to Kelly yourself ↑

A.

I do not.

12575

But you took the money and handed it to Lai Yuk Su
